Benfica have reportedly opened discussions with Al-Nassr over a possible summer move for striker Jhon Duran. The latest development points to the Portuguese club stepping up its search for attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season.
The move comes after Benfica allowed Marcos Leonardo to join Ajax, creating a need for more depth in the forward line. Bringing in Duran would give the club another option in attack and increase competition for places.
Duran's situation has also drawn attention because he was reportedly offered to Barcelona before Benfica's interest emerged. That detail suggests the striker is being explored by multiple clubs during the current transfer window, even if no agreement has been confirmed.
For now, the focus is on the talks between Benfica and Al-Nassr and whether they can progress into a formal deal. With Benfica looking to strengthen up front, Duran has quickly become one of the names to watch in their summer transfer plans.
